You see Jimmy works construction nowBut yesterday it rainedSo he went down to the liquor storeAnd by noon he felt no painI came in an hour late, then I let his supper burnWell he hit the roof, hit the wallAnd then it was my turn

He said, "A man´s home is castleIt always has been and so it remains"But he holds the keys in a fist of rageHis home is his castleAnd mine is a cage

Someone must have heard the noise and they dialed 911And the cop who showed up at the door asked,"Is there a problem son"Jimmy smiled and said "No sir, just a little fight that´s allHey you know how it gets sometimesWhen you´re laying down the law"Oh oh oh no

So I pulled out my suitcaseI started packin up my clothesAnd Jimmy said, "Now Linda, where do youExpect to go with those"I told him, "I have tried but no an ounceof love survives"Well he grabbed my wrist and shouted"You´re not leaving here alive"

She said, "I´m saving up my moneyAnd when I get the nerve I´ll runBut Jim don´t give up easily so I intendTo buy a gunHe will never see the way he treats me is a crimeSomebody oughta lock him upBut I´m the one who´s done the time"

He said, "A man´s home is castleIt always has been and so it remains"But he holds the keys in a fist of rageHis home is his castleAnd mine is a cage
